MOVING THE PACKAGED MACHINE 

The machine is contained in specific packing with a platform so that a forklift can 
move it.  No more than two packing crates can be stacked on each other. The total 
weight is 187 kg. for the machine. Packing dimensions are: 
A: 1140 mm 
B: 580 mm 
C: 1400 mm 
 
 

HOW TO UNPACK THE MACHINE 

•Remove outer packing. 
•The machine is strapped to its platform. 
•Cut the strap. 
 
 
 
 
•Use a ramp to lower the machine off the platform, pushing it backwards in reverse. 
Avoid violent blows against the base. 
•Keep the packing platform and the anchor brackets since it may become necessary to 
transport the machine again. 
 
 
 
 

BRUSH COVER ASSEMBLY 

(Only for single brush version) Because of packing reasons the brush cover is 
supplied separately from the machine. For assembly, position the control slits in the 
proper supports, as in the picture, and place the cover in the machine, jamming it with 
the knob.
